Douglas fir beams, sawn on our own mill in Louisville, Nebraska.

Every square timber we sell starts as a Douglas fir log on our band mill — we don't buy beams off a rack and resell them. You pick the size and the length; we cut it. Sizes run from a 4×4 post up to a 16×16, in lengths from 6 feet to 32 feet.

They're sawn full dimension, so an 8×8 measures a true 8×8 — we hold our cuts to a quarter inch or better, usually an eighth. The finish is rough-sawn, with the mill marks you can see and feel, which is the look most people want for timber frames, pergolas, and porch work.

Our timbers are kiln dried to 20% moisture or less, so they're stable and ready to build with — less twisting and checking as they settle in.

What people build with them: timber frame homes and great rooms, pergolas and pavilions, porch posts and beams, trusses, barn frames — and the occasional very serious mantel.

Working from a cut list, or need a size you don't see? Send it over. Cutting full house packages and odd sizes is most of what the mill does.

Slab Finishing Services

Have you slab built into a finished product by our skilled craftsmen. Following is the steps we take to build each slab project.

1. Surface plane the slabs to assure they're perfectlly flat.

2. Remove and bark and debris from all of the edges and micro cracks.

3. Stabilize all of the cracks and voids. We use several different methods and products, but mostly use epoxy products. All the voids, cracks and deteriorated wood will be completely stabilzed to assure a solid slab.

4. Final sand all of the sides of the wood up to 180-320 grit. Depending on the species and what finish being used will determind how high we sand up to.

5. Finish application. We use two different finishes. We apply two coats of our Rustic Lumber Furniture oil. After it cures we then apply ceramic coating. Our other finish option is spraying three coats of urethane finish.

6. Mount the base. We install the base with threaded inserts. This allows easy removal of the base from the slab.
